It would be 'amazing' to see Alonso back in F1®, says Gasly

Fernando Alonso returning to Formula 1® would be an "amazing" prospect, in the view of Alpha Tauri driver Pierre Gasly.

A dramatic week in F1® was kicked off when Sebastian Vettel announced he will leave Ferrari at the end of the 2020 season.

The Scuderia promptly replaced him with Carlos Sainz, whose McLaren seat will be filled by current Renault driver Daniel Ricciardo.

With Mercedes and Red Bull unlikely to move for Vettel, the Renault vacancy is seen as the German's best chance of remaining on the grid if he opts to remain in the sport.

But Alonso has emerged as another candidate for the seat if he can be tempted into a dramatic return.

The Spaniard won his two world championships with Renault in 2005 and 2006.

Now 38, Alonso has not raced in F1® since four unsuccessful years with McLaren ended in 2018, as the team struggled with their Honda engine.

WOOOOW, 2nd!!!!!!
